Here's what solved the swap growth issue for me: (Not sure if its related but might help someone).
I had sluggish performance with intel graphics, so I followed this guide and switched to UXA from EXA. That's when I noticed the swap growth but didn't think they were related at all. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 After googling around I found UXA has some major memory leaks which could cause swap growth. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/359392/comments/517 I Switched back to EXA (only changing xorg.conf but still with driver upgrades and patch scripts), and that resolved my issues. No compiz, but I have acceptable graphics performance and no memory/swap worries. -- Kubuntu Jaunty KDE 4.2 very high memory usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
